Survival Skills: Cordage, Trap & Snare


ID : 30385   

« back to classes page
The ability to make cord from the many naturally sources available in the wild is the survival skill that makes many others possible, from shelter, clothing, basketry, tinder, fire-making, lashing your harvest for transport, snares, and even bow strings. Cordage also makes durable and fashionable necklaces bracelets, and even rings! You will also craft a simple, but effective figure-4 deadfall trap and learn how to make an efficient rolling snare. These tools allow a survivalist to obtain food while working on other survival needs. Come join us for a day of some cool tools! 

Please note: The class will begin by meeting in Building G (Gymnasium Building.) The majority of class will meet outdoors on campus.

Dress for the outdoors. Bring a knife, note-taking materials, water bottle and lunch that does not require refrigeration for the four-hour classes and snacks. Courses for ages 18 and up. In case of weather cancellation(s), class will be rescheduled to the same time and place the next Saturday.
